Donald Trump has revealed that military officers told him stories about UFO encounters when he was commander-in-chief. During an interview with Greg Gutfeld, an audience member asked the former President what he knows about the secretive Area 51, located in the Nevada desert. Trump then recounted a meeting Air Force pilots at the Oval Office who told him they had encountered round objects that moved faster than their F-22 planes. Mr. Trump said the pilots were solid people who were not prone to fabricating stories.
The former President has addressed UFOs numerous times, and in a September discussion with Lex Fridman, he said he would push for greater transparency if re-elected in November. The Republican pledged to release more footage of unidentified objects filmed in the skies by military officers but usually kept away from public view.
Last year, intelligence veteran David Grusch testified before Congress that he knows the US government hides the existence and location of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) and knows their “exact locations.” He claimed to have spoken to “over 40 witnesses” but was unwilling to disclose the content of their discussions.
David Charles Grusch, a 36-year-old veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), insists that the federal government has possession of aircraft of non-human origin and that these are illegally concealed from Congress. “The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles,” Grusch told lawmakers.
Critics of alleged government silence claim that the existence of UFOs is not only covered up but that the Air Force deliberately targets witnesses with campaigns to discredit them. Mr. Grusch would not answer lawmakers’ questions about whether he believed anyone had been murdered to conceal human contact with alien life forms, but did say that he has feared for his life since deciding to speak out.
The veteran added that he and other witnesses had been subjected to “administrative terrorism,” which was “very brutal and very unfortunate.” He further explained that silencing tactics used by the Air Force were intended to hurt him personally and professionally.
